Good Hästens Alternative?
If you would like to speak to Frank Taylor a Top UK bed specialist since 1978 ( now retired ) who was also the main salesman for a major UK Hästens reseller for his opinion on UK beds he sold compared to Hästens please let us know ( email or phone ) and we can put you in touch. He loves to talk about beds and will be very happy to share his expertise and honest opinion.
Is there a good alternative / competitor brand who make beds similar to Hästens that feel the same but at a more sensible price ?
What are the facts?
1) Hästens make great beds that feel amazing but they are extremely expensive.
2) Due to the way our beds are made they give customers the same sleeping experience as Hästens that has been likened to sleeping on a cloud but at a fraction of the price. We were told that even a Hästens rep visiting a store who sold their range and ours said after lying on one of our models "It feels just like a Hästens!".
3) Approximately 15 years ago we were asked by bed expert Frank Taylor ( who at the time worked for Clement Joscelyne a UK Hästens reseller ) if we could make a British made bed that equaled the feel of a Hästens. He had already tried multiple UK manufacturers and none of them achieved this. Our family has been in the industry for over 50 years as a major supplier of machinery and materials to UK bed factories and with our deep understanding of manufacturing techniques we made a prototype bed. The dealer was amazed and delighted we had done it! In fact because we have access to specialised machinery that Hästens does not have we have now been able to increase the specification of the toppers beyond their current capabilities.
4) Our beds quickly overtook Hästens sales at Clement Joscelyne. A Hästens rep visited the store in Cambridge and was quoted by Frank as saying "It feels like a Hästens!". It was British made, same level of comfort and at a fraction of the price. No wonder it overtook sales.
5) One family and previous owner of a Hästens bed now have our beds in their superyatch and properties in the UK and Switzerland. They sent us a comment "We love your beds! And way better than Hästens anyway, just saying ;)"
6) Most UK brands copy each other in the way their beds are manufactured. Which is why most are unable to match the feel of a Hästens. Hästens do things differently and so do we. That's why both our beds have been likened to sleeping on a cloud. Please call us to explain as some of this is trade secrets.
7) We use pocket springs that are heat treated after being coiled. This is important as it tempers and locks in the spring. Even very expensive beds ( much more than ours ) who claim this have been using heat treated wire but not tempering after the spring is coiled so these beds will over time sag greatly reducing their lifespan.
8) Like Hästens we use horse hair around the springs in the mattress.
9) We use pure new wool fillings. We can offer other premium fillings such as cashmere, silk, camel hair and even fillings made from rose stalks. However, as all fillings are covered in a ticking such as cotton and then your sheets are placed on top the feel of the expensive fillings such as silk are wasted as you never come in contact with them. For the ultimate comfort all you need is soft fillings that are breathable and handle moisture well. Pure new wool is perfect!
10) Our toppers can be made to a higher specification than Hästens quilted toppers as we have specialised adapted machinery to achieve this. This is one of the benefits of our 50 years of experience supplying the trade with machines.
